Pharmacy Daily | Mirixa lessons at GU

PHARMACY students at Griffith University (GU) on the Gold Coast have been given hands-on training using the Pharmacy Guild-backed Mirixa software platform, with the intention of producing “work-ready students who will benefit individual pharmacies and the profession as a whole”. Students were given access to the MirixaPro platform along with dummy cases to simulate professional service delivery to patients, to gain experience in using the software to support positive clinical interventions. Senior Lecturer, Dr Laetitia Hatitingh, said “At Griffith University we equip our students with new technology and tools that focus on the integration of patient care services into everyday practice.” She said there is keen interest in the program, with a number of employers agreeing they would hire an intern pharmacist “primed for professional services” over others. Mirixa’s Aaron d’Souza said Mixira Australia would be working with other pharmacy schools across the country “focused on producing students ready for the challenge of professional service delivery.”
